THE BRAEMAR STORY
ABOUT US
Braemar Charitable Trust is the proud owner of Braemar Hospital, one of New Zealand’s leading private surgical hospitals and an icon of the Waikato community with a history dating back to 1926.
The Braemar Hospital Charitable Trust itself was formed nearly fifty years later (in 1970), when Braemar Hospital Ltd resolved to transfer to the Trust all of the assets of the company on the condition that the hospital operate as a charitable trust.

Under the guidance of the Braemar Hospital Charitable Trust (renamed to Braemar Charitable Trust in 2001) the hospital has grown from strength to strength, adding new theatres, wards and services.
It had always been the intention of the founders that as Braemar became more financially secure, the number of charitable distributions would increase, with a core focus on the people of Waikato.
BRAEMAR CHARITABLE TRUST’S STRATEGIC OUTCOMES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Outcome 1: Investing in medical research to reduce inequalities, barriers to access and ensure BCT charitable activities are aligned with community health needs both now and in the future.
Outcome 2: Strengthening health capability and capacity in our region-growing our people, our reputation and our impact.
Outcome 3: Braemar Hospital is a successful company, Waikato’s leading private hospital and delivers a competitive return to enable BCT to maximise impact through its charitable activities.
